AI, Security, and the Autonomous Networks of 2030

In this episode of Built for Trust, host Nick Lippis sits down with Chalan Aras to explore how AI is reshaping the future of networking and IT operations. From the rise of observability and automation to the challenges of multi-cloud sprawl and massive data movement, they unpack why only a fraction of AI projects succeed and what enterprises must do to close the gap between ambition and readiness.

Looking ahead to 2030, Chalan shares his vision of autonomous, AI-native networks—where agentic operations centers, security-first design, and dynamic data fabrics replace today’s static systems. Along the way, Nick and Chalan examine the risks, opportunities, and real-world lessons every enterprise leader should consider as AI drives the next era of connectivity.
